This week's episode features Linda Thoma of the Jean B. Purvis Community Health Center. We learn all about this wonderful Community Health Center located in Butler that serves the uninsured and under-insured for the past 13 years.
They have provided medical care to over 12,000 individuals, provided $4 million dollars in free medication to patients and served over 2,000 patients in dental. They'll begin vision services later in November. CHC operates on 1 full time employee, 8 part-time employees and many volunteers to help serve those in need!
Linda shares the rich history of Jean B. Purvis and her reason behind starting the Community Health Center. We learn about the partnership that the Butler Health System and other organizations have with the CHC to provide services.
CHC operates on a very small budget and exists thanks to donations, fundraising and grants. If you would like to volunteer or help support the Community Health Center, please visit: https://www.butlerhealthclinic.org/
